Development of Concrete Mix Design for Concrete Pavement Using Wastewater Sludge as Partial Substitute to Cement
Randy L. Anonuevo Laguna Lake Development Authority
Abstract
The main objective of the study is to develop a concrete mix design, intended for pavement which uses wastewater sludge as a partial substitute to cement, in order to find an alternative solution for the large volume of sludge generated within the Laguna de Bay Region. Different concrete mix designs with sludge as a partial substitute to cement were evaluated in order to develop an optimum concrete mix design. For which, it must be guaranteed that the resulting concrete design mix has the appropriate flexural strength in accordance with item 311 of DPWH – Standard Specification for Highways, Bridges and Airports. The result shows that as the amount of sludge in a concrete specimen increases, the flexural strength as well as the slumped value that affects its workability decreases.
Keywords: development of concrete mix design for concrete pavement using wastewater sludge as partial substitute to cement, , flexural strength, laguna de bay region

Acceptability of Standard Algorithm on Construction Schedule Revision for Infrastructure Projects
Laurenze John G. Estrada Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
Delays are inevitable, especially with infrastructure projects. However, contract claims that call revision of the construction schedules brought by these delays are inadequately incorporated therein; this is due to absence of standard algorithms on incorporating such claims on the revision of construction schedules. With the aid of the descriptive method of research, thru a structured survey, the standard algorithms of construction schedule revision for infrastructure projects gathered from both foreign and local literatures and studies were found to be moderately accepted by the engineering arm of the government. Furthermore, in terms of current practices of the respondents, time variance, and variation orders were agreed to be common reasons for the revision of the schedules; hence, it was also revealed that government institutions usually revise the schedules in case of potential changes and updates. However, variable responses on traditional practices of revising schedules that were gathered implied variations in the said practices. This study also reveals that the level of acceptability of the government institution had no significant difference, when grouped according to profile except in office category. Likewise, current practices on schedule revision could not be generalized due to variability and inconsistencies in between practices. It was also revealed in the study that the agreement of the government institution on adopting computer-aided softwares are to be integrated with the current construction schedule management practices, only if necessary trainings and preparations will be conducted first before implementation. The researcher recommends the establishment of policy on effecting construction schedule revision including guidelines on incorporating contract claims.

Awareness and Acceptability of 4D BIM in Vertical Construction among BIM Specialists
Angelica A. Mallillin Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
This study aims to determine the awareness and acceptability of 4D BIM in Vertical Constructions among BIM Specialists. Descriptive method was used to obtain the data needed in the study, with a total of 30 BIM specialists participating in this study. The findings show that the BIM Specialists recognized the 4D BIM, even if it was not fully implemented on projects locally. Being aware of the software features of 4D BIM, in which it was expected to be applied to vertical construction could strengthen the implementation plan, and process as a key ingredient for a successful execution of 4D BIM on projects. The study shows that the respondents agreed that implementing 4D BIM in vertical construction was really beneficial. With the help of better visualization and communication, AEC professionals can achieve a better and common understanding of the project scope and objectives, which can improve the construction planning and execution process significantly leading to the project success. The proposed Implementation procedure for the application of 4D BIM to Vertical Construction were: (1) Identify 4D BIM Goals and Uses; (2) Include the 4D BIM in designing the BIM Project Execution Process; (3) Develop the information content, level of detail, and responsible party for each exchange in 4D BIM; and (4) Review final Implementation Plan. . In the proposed Implementation Procedure for the application of 4D BIM to Vertical Construction, the research concludes that: to effectively integrate 4D BIM into the project delivery process, it is important for the team to develop a detailed execution plan for 4D BIM implementation. One of the most important steps in the planning process was to clearly define the potential value of 4D BIM on the project and for project team members through defining the overall goals for BIM implementation. The ability to visualize the project’s progress from the computer before breaking ground makes a practice field for the construction managers to make the project highly engaging and efficient. In our local industry where developments in construction are quite slow, this BIM technology is truly revolutionary.

The Agile Project Management Approach in Civil Works of Construction Project
Giezel Marie M. Arceo Ap-Core
Abstract
Agile Project Management approach is very well known in the IT industry as their project management methodology. What if this approach will be applied in the construction industry? Will this trend be effective and useful in construction? How will this approach be embraced by the industry if it means a shift from their traditional culture? The construction industry is a main contributor to the economic growth of the Philippines. Still, many construction projects now are suffering from delays and cost increases due to recurring issues in project management which up to now, remains unresolved. Turning a blind eye on these issues is the reason why the project suffers. Andy Hunt’s quote “Only Dead Fish Go with the Flow” reflects the current situation of the construction’s project management. The solution to the project management issues in the construction industry is to start a movement. A right project management approach must be carefully selected for the right project. The main objective of this study is to open the blind eyes of the project managers, by making them perceive the need of choosing the right project management approach for the right project. The study covers the unresolved issues on existing traditional project management actions and the benefits of using agile project management as a new approach in construction. As a result, issues were exposed and aspects of project management that needs to be improved were determined. It was concluded that possessing a mutual and agile mindset was the key to resolve the issues in project management. Having an agile mindset means incorporating the agile principles in the existing project management. It was proven that the agile approach really works in the execution of project in construction. Therefore, blending agile principles to traditional project management makes a perfect fit as a new project management approach in the construction industry.

Awareness and Effectiveness of Lean Principles in Selected Construction Industries in Metro Manila
Divina Gracia Corvera Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
Risk is a multi-faceted concept. A risk is an uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on one or more project objectives such as scope, schedule, cost and quality. As one of the most dangerous industries, risk is said to be common in construction. As the industry strives to remain competitive using variety of innovations, in one way or another, can be connected and be affiliated to more risks due to unfamiliarity or newness of approaches and methods. One of the innovations that are currently being used in infrastructure construction is the Indonesian technology, Sosrobahu, a hydraulic non-friction rotating device that is used to rotate a 450 ton pier head. This is to minimize traffic disturbance while constructing in major economy roads. This technology is used in Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3, which will run from Buendia in Makati City to Balintawak in Quezon City, connecting the South Luzon Expressway and the North Luzon Expressway. This study assesses the risks associated in utilizing the Sosrobahu technology based on the Risk Management Plan of D. M. Consunji, Inc. through survey questionnaires distributed to technical and managerial staff involved in the project. An action plan was proposed for improvement of the existing Risk Management Plan and for project implementation.

Application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in Lean Construction Methodology
Johnler L. Ylanan Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
Rapid construction is a systematic approach to deliver a kind of project with complexity in construction within a limited schedule, approved construction methodologies, and contract agreement in order to meet the client’s satisfaction. It can be achieved through focusing on the basic principle of eliminating waste within’ the construction workflow. In order to stabilize such ideal work flows, injecting lean manufacturing principles into construction is necessary, thus, practicing lean construction is the key factor in achieving an effective methodology for rapid construction. Applying these lean principles more effectively can be done with the aid of Building Information Modelling (BIM) through its ability to compile virtual models of buildings. This study assesses and analyzes the BIM’s capability in terms of its functionality; techniques and tools in applying these lean principles into the construction workflow and may be used to develop an effective lean construction methodology. Survey questionnaires were distributed among the statistical population. The results were analyzed, weighted and ranked according to priority. Generally, the results of the study show that the application of BIM in LCM is highly acknowledged by the respondents and is being implemented.

Factors Affecting Delay of Industrial Construction Projects of a Selected Construction AAAA Company in the Philippines in Year 2015-2017
Leomar M. Pecson Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
This descriptive study deals on the assessment of the factors affecting the delay of industrial construction projects of a selected construction AAAA company in the Philippines in the year 2015- 2017. The respondents of this study were fifty one (51) people, composing of site engineers, construction managers and project managers who were involved in industrial construction projects during Calendar Year 2015-2017. The data were carefully tallied and subjected to appropriate statistical treatments. Frequency counts, percentage, means, and independent sample T-test were used to analyze and interpret the data gathered. This study finds that most of the construction professionals in the company encountered project delays in industrial construction projects are too many to identify and enumerate. Construction delay-related factors in terms of poor site management and supervision, approval of shop drawings, shortage of resources, design errors and changes and variation orders were found as the often cause of delay in the construction projects. The age bracket between 50 years old and below indicates that most of the respondents are having 50 and below in age. In the assessment of the respondents according to age, it appears that most of the respondents were male. Lastly, in the assessment of the respondents in terms of number of years in the construction industry, it appears that all of the respondents are qualified as respondents because of having 5 years and more experience in the industry. Furthermore, the null hypothesis stating that there is no significant difference in the assessment of the respondents in terms of personal profile on construction delay factors was accepted. Based on the findings, an action plan was developed and recommended to mitigate construction delay.

Developing Pangasinan Identity through Cultural Governance
Renato E. Salcedo Pangasinan State University Lingayen Campus
Abstract
Cultural governance is defined as a government’s direct or indirect involvement in the promotion and administration of programs related to culture and heritage. Cultural renaissance emerged in Pangasinan in 2007, when the provincial government initiated efforts to develop a comprehensive program to instil consciousness among the Pangasinenses of their illustrious heritage. This qualitative research discusses the programs, projects and mechanisms of the provincial government of Pangasinan in ensuring the sustainability of cultural governance. It further describes how cultural governance develops the Pangasinan identity. Data were gathered from officials of the province through in-depth interview and documentary analysis as well as other stakeholders in the cultural scene of the province. Laying the foundation for the mainstreaming of cultural governance in the province is the establishment of the Pangasinan Historical and Cultural Commission (PHCC) in 2010. Its inaugural work was the correction of the founding date of Pangasinan to April 5, 1580 as well as the re-writing of a complete and accurate history of Pangasinan through the book Pinablin Dalin (Beloved Land) in 2015. It spearheads the effort to include in the curricula of elementary and secondary schools the history of the province. Moreover, mother tongue usage and education is standardized by the provincial government through the release of Panuntunan na Ortograpiya ed Salitan Pangasinan (Primer on Pangasinan Ortography), the very first of its own in the country. Mainstreaming native literature gems and honing local Shakespeares is Kurit Palunggaring, the provincial equivalent of the Carlos Palanca Awards, matched with an anthology book of the same name compiling the winning masterpieces penned in 2015. To popularize Pangasinan music and dances, the annual inter-municipal culture and arts festival Balitok A Taoir: Official Pangasinan Culture and Arts Festival has been mounted since 2011. The employees of the provincial government take the lead in promoting Pangasinan culture through the Danggoan Pangasinan Cultural Group and the Pangasinan Provincial Chorale. Through cultural governance, the Pangasinenses are able to develop their identity and renew their collective commitment to the noble cause of instilling a deep sense of consciousness on the heritage of the province.

Buying Behavior among the Credit Card Holders in a Philippine University
Dave Kieth J. Lappay Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
This study aims to assess the buying behavior of credit card holders among the employees in one of the universities in Cavite. This study was designed as a quantitative research. The credit card holders were young adults aged 26-30. This implies the need for more purchasing on this age bracket. Most of the respondents were females, for they are the ones who usually handle the budget and finances at home; and single individuals were the usual holders of credit card, somehow part of their financial obligations. Moreover, most of the respondents were taking up their master’s degree; this explains the dire need for other sources of money to easily buy their needs, and greater numbers were allotted for food and bills. The frequency of use to supply the basic needs was few times a week, and a few times a month for the purchase of products beyond basic needs. Future researchers may give focus on other sub-variables related to the social aspect for it affects the buying decisions of an individual. Further studies can consider creating a scale which focuses on the other sub-factors of social buying behavior.Explore buying behavior in the context social relationship; behavior when buying alone and behavior when buying with a group.

Financial Risk Management Practices on Stocks Investment of Selected Online Brokers of Philippine Stocks Exchange
Aiza C. Guinto Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
Investing is still not a big thing for most Filipinos, as we are not a fan of delayed gratification. Majority of the working population live in the now, not preparing for the future, though there are already a lot of investment instruments that are readily available in the market such as mutual funds or insurance, stocks, treasury bills and bonds. The most obvious reason would be the low income of many of our citizens, having no extra cash to spare, making investing impossible. We can also accept the fact that most of the Filipinos lack knowledge and awareness in terms of different investment options. The research shall gather specific information from active investors of selected online stock brokerage firms regarding the financial risk management practices they usually use on stocks investing. As we all know, the main objective of investing is to gain financial return. Apparently, every investment has an expected risk, which would always be true for nonguaranteed investments such as stocks. Managing these identified risks thru thorough assessment could lessen the impact of potential loss to one’s investment. Purposive sampling was the sampling technique used for this study to validate this research. With consideration to the scope and limitation of this study, the respondents were mainly from the pool of investors investing from the Philippine Stocks Exchange, Inc. Only 109 investors were surveyed as samples for the actual study. Results indicate that the Level of Effectiveness of Financial Risk Management Practices used in this study, according to aspects such as Market Risk, Financial Risk, Business Risk and Portfolio Risk were all ‘Effective’. Moreover, investors are recommended to apply the risk management practices as identified in this study per aspect as these practices are deemed effective and could lessen investment risk. It is also advisable that investors continue to be updated with the current news in the stock market and should always find time to do their necessary research with their own investments.

Promoting Awareness on the Social Security System Personal Equity Savings Option Fund Towards Program Promotional Enhancement
Maritess O. Daquiuag Social Security System
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to promote awareness on the SSS Personal Equity and Savings Option Fund (SPF) towards program promotional enhancement. The study utilizes the descriptive method. Two sets of questionnaires were used to measure the level of awareness and satisfaction on the SPF program. The survey respondents consisted of 368 SSS regular members and 66 SPF members. Data collection period was from January to February 2018 at SSS Diliman branch. Findings reveal that 63% of SSS regular member-respondents were “unaware” and 37% were “aware” of the program. Their awareness on its qualifications/eligibility and benefits were all tagged as ‘little aware’. Only 11.8% of the “aware” respondents were SPF members. Majority of covered employees disclosed that companies neglected their retirement security, linked to perception of 67.3% wanted SPF program to be mandated to all employees. Also, 44.5% of SE, VM and OFW respondents were not willing to increase their contribution to maximum to be qualified in the program. Majority (92.2%) of the “unaware” SSS regular member-respondents disclosed interest to acquire information about the SPF program through “attending seminars” that will help them to learn more and 62.9% suggested visible counter for SPF program in every SSS branches. “Lack of knowledge on saving for retirement” and “Long queue in depositing SPF savings” were the most critical barriers encountered by SPF respondents, and 63.6% enrolled to the program as “Preparation for a More Secured Retirement”. The marketing strategy of SSS Diliman branch was inadequate. “Aware” SSS regular member- respondents lacked knowledge on savings for retirement. Employees may not be well-prepared for retirement because most companies neglected their retirement security. Commitment to better and higher quality service of SPF program will give satisfaction, which may encourage them to promote the SPF program to others. There is a need for SSS Diliman branch to adopt more efficient promotional strategies to raise awareness and education on the SPF program through providing free trainings and seminars on a regular monthly basis. Other researches may be conducted among SSS members and SPF members from other SSS branches with bigger number of respondents, so as to continuously assess level of awareness and satisfaction of SSS and SPF members for the development and continuous enhancement of SPF program and geared towards giving service quality to people.

Microfinance Credit Services in Eastern Samar Municipalities
Vicky Mae M. Duque Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
The study aims to assess the effectiveness of the microfinance credit services to sari-sari store owners/operators in the municipalities of Maydolong and Balangkayan in the province of Eastern Samar. It used the descriptive method using a questionnaire to collect data from the respondent sari- sari store owners/operators in the area of study. The study reveals that most sari-sari store owners were married, college degree holders, the major source of microfinance credit is the CARD, Inc., have been operating for 1-5 years, with store capitalization at P5,000.00 and below, have no employees/assistants, and have only availed of microfinance credit services 1-3 times. The respondents’ assessed that microfinance credit services were “Somewhat Effective” in terms of operating expenses of the sari-sari store, buying of new products to sell, income generation, personal reasons or using loaned amounts for personal expenses. In terms of store equipment acquisition, respondents’ assessment was verbally interpreted as “Less Effective.” Microfinance institutions in the area should provide interventions that will develop the entrepreneurial abilities of its beneficiaries. They should implement a more aggressive monitoring program that will ensure that the loaned amounts will be solely used for its intended purpose. They should continue to provide focus on their loan offerings to female sari-sari store owners/operators. There is a need to conduct a parallel research to determine the effectiveness of microfinance on sari-sari stores who have been in the business for a much longer period of time and have been able to able to avail of microfinance credit services more times than the current respondents of this study. There is also a need to conduct another research on the impact of microcredit services of MFIs on the household of sari-sari store owners/operators.

Shift-Share Analysis of Industry Diversification: The Cases of Indonesia, the Philippines, And Vietnam
Carl Egbert I. Biascan Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
Industry diversification is one of the strategies implemented to achieve higher employment in developing countries. Based on empirical studies, development of countries materialize by increasing the variety and diversity of economic activities. Diversified economy can reduce impact of any economic crisis or shocks that might be encountered. Among the three (3) most common models used, Random Effect Model (REM) and Pooled Least Square Model (PLSM) are the most suitable models to be used to examine the effects of diversification of industries in developing countries, specifically change in employment for the region. Both PLSM and REM showed that industry diversification is positively correlated with change in employment for the region. The models also depicted that diversification of industry, when taken as a whole, has significant effect on change in employment in the region. Therefore, it is recommended that the governments of the three countries should support local capacities; attract investors; support Go Negosyo [Business]; implement one-shops business application; avoid huge variations in business tax rates; continue to focus on attracting foreign investment; and increase budget in research and development.

Abstract
The study intends to assess the opportunities of ASEAN integration to the banking industry in Metro Manila. The descriptive survey method was used in this study. The study revealed that 92 or 60.5% aged 25-35 years old; female (107 or 70.4%); college graduates (132 or 86.8%); 18 or 11.8% were branch managers; had working experience of 5 years to 10 years. “The bank consolidates in order to grow in size as to be able to compete with larger foreign banks” attained the highest weighted mean of 3.86 and “The bank builds presence in most ASEAN countries” got the lowest mean of 3.39. Assessments were all in agreement on Wide Financial Services, Banking Regulations and Product Innovation when grouped by profile. When respondents were grouped by age, sex and educational attainment there was no significant difference in the respondents’ assessment on the opportunities of ASEAN integration to banking industry. On the other hand, when grouped by managerial position, there was a significant difference in wide financial services and banking regulation; however, there was no significant difference in product innovation. The banks should consider building presence in most ASEAN countries. Retention incentives should be adopted in banks. This can range from bonuses to professional development. Banks should decide to build more research organizations. To remain competitive, agile banks should work on innovation. The BSP should also be involved in uplifting other financial banks to be competitive in this ASEAN integration. Proper information about what is the current status of ASEAN banking integration from BSP to the bank’s higher management down to banking employees is highly recommended.

Examining the Impact of Rural Banking Administration on Countryside Welfare: Basis for Proposed Policy Redirection
Jayson Laurio Marzan Central Luzon State University
Abstract
The study examines the impact of rural banking administration (as represented by capital adequacy ratio, number of branches, loan outstanding for production and inflation rate) to countryside welfare (as denoted by rural welfare indicator) covering the period 1st quarter of 2009 to 2nd quarter of 2016 with thirty observations. Battery of econometric tests were employed in order to ensure the reliability of study. The study concludes that the increase on the current capital adequacy ratio does not immediately reflect improvement on rural welfare, but on the succeeding period, as the additional capital means increase on the loanable funds which may be availed by the borrowers on the succeeding period. The current number of branches has an immediate positive impact on rural areas as the bank services are now more accessible. However, the number of branches lagged by one period implies that viability of opening a branch should still be anchored on the demand of the borrowers, aside from the operational and technical issues. Current loan outstanding signifies that loan function to aid the borrower on his production does not commensurate with its intended outcome as there were unpredictable events which may potentially affect the borrower’s yield of production. Moreover, outstanding loans lagged by one period is a reflection that loans provided by rural banks is a one-time transaction, which the borrower needs to pay first, before he can avail another loan. The current inflation rate only reflects that it erodes the purchasing power while inflation rate lagged by one period reveals that inflation is a driving force for consumption which in the end propels the economy. The rural welfare indicator lagged by one period demonstrates that the generation of income and employment is unpredictable and the vulnerability of the agricultural sector to the natural calamities. The researcher offers the following recommendations: For the rural banks, to continuously build up the capital, to boost lending activities, to restructure non-performing loans, and to promote financial education. For the Quedancor, to guarantee the agricultural loans entered by rural banks. For the RBAP, to base the loan value on the insured value of the crops, and to promote transparent and efficient flow of information on its website.

It has also become a major source of investment in the capital market. Although the life insurance industry in Asia has emerged from the financial crisis stronger than ever, it has not escaped unchanged. Among the three approaches of panel regression analysis, the fixed panel regression results showed that disposable income, government effectiveness, old dependency ratio and young dependency ratio were positively correlated and had a significant effect on life insurance penetration. Based on the regression results, the government sector of Asean Economic. Community must focus on strengthening trust in the insurance sector by improving the efficiency of the legal system and contract enforceability, also the government could provide workshop, training and seminars that will help the insurance sector to promote long term and uncertain risk investment. In addition, the government could develop a nationwide structural plan that stresses health promotion and disease prevention activities through hospital and health care expansion. Amendments of life insurance products that will be fitted in the budget and need of each Asean community can be addressed by the insurance companies. Also, they are advised to sponsor some school and university activities to increase public awareness about the importance of having a life insurance under the guidelines set by the Department of Education. This research is limited only to year 2000 to 2015 data, and few macroeconomic variables. Future researchers should focus on other macroeconomic factors which are not touched in this study. The researcher would like recommend to future researchers to include in their variable like savings, price of insurance, and pension to find out other significant factors that affect the life insurance penetration in Asean Economic Community.

Ma. Liza Igbuhay Polytechnic University of the Philippines / De La Salle – College of Saint Benilde
Abstract
This study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of financial management practices of Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) in the National Capital Region. The researcher employed the descriptive method. The respondents were 205 owners, business entrepreneurs, managers, accountants, accounting assistants and bookkeepers of training and consultancy firms distributed in different areas of Metro Manila, Philippines. The survey questionnaires were distributed to the target respondents. It was concluded that while most respondents across different profiles agreed that they were dominated by partnership operating for 6 years or more, employing 6 to 10 employees with a capitalization of Php1,000,000 to 1,500,000, serving local clients, and are engaged in training and consultancy business, which were categorized as MSE in the National Capital Region and practicing and implementing financial management. The financial management practices of MSEs disclosed some wrongdoings. The lack of intensive interview and personal observation tend to reject and neglect the fact that the actual practice had tremendous differences. Financial figures might not reflect the reality. It is worth taking time, effort, and resources to extend stronger support in terms of further developing the same employees’ competence and, specific to the culture they are assigned to deal with. Apparently, the respondents who belonged to the five categorical profiles stated above, expressly noted their higher level of financial management practices as they were able to develop a deeper understanding on the internal control measures to safeguard the firms’ resources.

Ruth DG. Regalado Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
Inclusive Education program teachers play a vital role in educating learners with special needs. This study focuses on the level of readiness of Inclusive Education Program Teachers and the problems or challenges that they have encountered during the implementation of the program. The study used a descriptive method. The populations of the study were one hundred thirty-six teachers of the five selected public elementary schools through simple random technique by using the Slovin’s formula. The main instrument used was a modified survey questionnaire obtained the respondent’s profiles: age, gender, highest educational attainment and teaching rank or their classification and their level of readiness in terms of Attitude, Knowledge or Skills, Pre-enrollment System and Instructional Management. The quantitative data were evaluated and interpreted using appropriate statistical tools. Also, interviews were conducted. Teacher-respondents have the highest concentration of the age bracket of 46 year old and above, female, with bachelor’s degree, and with teaching rank/classification of Teacher 1. The researcher concludes that the level of readiness of teacher respondents in terms of Attitudes, Knowledge or Skills, Pre-Enrollment Procedures and Instructional Management toward Inclusive Education Program was with verbal interpretation, substantially practiced which means that there is much evidence that the statement is true, but there are a few practices that could be strengthened. Some issues on the implementation of Inclusive Education Program were also noted and elaborated. Thus, the over-all mean shows that there was no significant difference between the Level of Readiness of Inclusive Education Program Teachers when grouped according to respondents profiles thereby to accept the null hypothesis. The researcher highly recommends that it is deemed essential to implement the proposed Intervention Program for Inclusive Education Program Teachers brought about by the results of this study. As this study unveils new problems, future researchers could explore other possible factors that lead to Inclusive Education Program teachers to be more involved and active into the program and seek for the outcomes as well.

Awareness and Effectiveness of the Modes of Learning as Perceived by Students of a Graduate School Program
Paterson Lim Encabo Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
With the advent of technology, students are aware, albeit informally, that there are several modes of learning. The Academe should be familiar with these modes of learning to stay relevant. From the online course Modes of Learning offered by edX (Harvard University X), there are four modes of learning: Hierarchical Individual, Hierarchical Collective, Distributed Individual and Distributed Collective. This is a descriptive research which assessed the awareness and effectiveness of the modes of learning as perceived by the Master of Science of Industrial Engineering and Management students of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP). Hypotheses were tested on perceptions of the respondents on the modes of learning relative to their profiles. Findings indicate that, while the students are informally aware of the all the modes of learning, there are differences on their level of their awareness and their perceptions on effectiveness when grouped according to their profiles. New students appear to favor the online courses more than the older students. On the other hand, engineers tend to favor more the non-traditional method of learning than the non-engineers. Also, the engineers are more leaning to the knowledge provided by the online courses compared to those who are non- engineers. It is recommended that since students are very familiar with the use of information technology, the PUP system, more particularly its faculty members should likewise continuously update their knowledge about technology to understand how students can maximize their learnings. Future research should include awareness of other PUP Graduate School programs on the Modes of Learning.

Abstract
This study investigates the degree of preparedness of teachers and how EdTech being integrated in teaching Applied Track Subjects among Senior High Schools in Region 1 (Ilocos Region). The study was anchored on the TPCK theoretical framework by Mishra & Kohler (2006). This study used questionnaire-survey data from one-hundred ninety-eight (198) teachers from twenty-three (23) SHS from the four (4) provinces of Region 1, using the stratified cluster random sampling method. The study aims to explore the relationship between teachers’ academic profiles and degree of integration and preparedness in integrating EdTech. The findings of the study indicate that SHS Teachers were graduated from different baccalaureate degree programs. Mostly are BSEd graduate which gave them an edge to meet the eligibility requirement (RA 1080). They have undergone application, selection and appointment process of the said teachers based on professional and qualification standards (QS) and evaluation criteria which ensure that highly competent individuals with the appropriate qualifications are hired to teach in SHS (DO#3, s.2016). They belong to generally young professionals in public teaching service. Although the study necessitates, teachers moderately integrate and perceived to be highly prepared to integrate EdTech in teaching the subject area(s), they do not have trainings/seminars and professional membership related to EdTech. Among other findings, correlational analyses revealed that educational attainment, teaching position and years in teaching service are important predictors of the teachers’ degree of preparedness. Though, there is no significant association between degree of integration and academic profiles. It indicates that the use of educational technology has nothing to do with the teachers using it. The problems cited, especially on physical related-matters, were considered a hindrance by teachers to effectively integrate educational technologies into classroom instruction. The findings of the study support policy intervention aimed to provide more opportunities for educational technology-based professional training and development. The outcomes of the study will help schools and teachers to enhance the use of available educational technologies in their teaching-learning practices and improving the quality of education, educational technology, preparedness, applied track subjects, senior high school, TPCK (technological, pedagogical, content knowledge)

Heildenberg C. Dimarucot San Beda University
Abstract
With the implementation of the new Bachelor in Physical Education, major in Sports and Wellness program for 7 years and the UNESCO’s emphasis on Quality Physical Education, there is a need for an evaluation of its quality that will aid the administrators and the faculty in further enhancing it. Anchored on Haworth and Conrad’s theory (1997), this study employed mixed methods using survey, interview with the program chair, faculty and student portfolio assessment, and document review to examine the (a) importance, (b) concreteness, and (c) effectiveness of the 17 attributes of Engagement Theory of Program Quality (ETPQ) on the growth and development of BPE-SWM students of San Beda University. The results reveal that the 17 attributes are deemed important indicators of program quality, concrete in the stakeholders’ experience, and effective contributors to students’ growth and development. However, Diverse and Engaged Faculty, Diverse and Engaged Students, Risk- Mentoring, and Support for Basic Infrastructure, with emphasis on sports facilities, need to be further reinforced. Increased student involvement, re-tooling of faculty, especially on mentoring, proper orientation on professional residency and tangible products like thesis, and sufficient funding for sports facilities would help ensure the optimal quality of the BPE-SWM program in the institution.

Redefining Teaching Styles of Teachers as Classroom Managers: A Hybrid of Management and Pedagogy Framework
Joseph L. Adan Department of Education
Abstract
The role of a teacher as a manager had long been associated with the teacher’s classroom management methods and techniques thus a teacher is referred to as a “manager” inside the classroom. The study coined appropriate labels for teachers as classroom mangers in a contextualized manner through the fusion of Blake and Mouton’s managerial grid and Farhad Analoui’s teaching styles. The hybrid of managerial grid and teaching style framework utilized common nouns in place of descriptive nouns as used by Blake and Mouton and Analoui to have a better understanding about the teachers’ management and teaching styles based on their level of concern for the students and the subject: terror, comfort-giver, commoner, goal-seeker, and idol teacher. The descriptive method of research was used in determining the management and teaching styles of thirty (30) teachers of Mathematics and Mathematics-allied subjects through a researcher-made teaching style questionnaire and how said styles relate to the respondents’ profile and their differences as to concern for students and the subject. The study reveals that there is great association between the teachers’ management and teaching style as to their age and field of specialization. Differences in the teachers’ level of concern for the students and the subject were also established across different management and teaching styles.

Integration of Moral Story Reading Sessions as an Intervention to Bullying and Reading Comprehension
Jhoann D. Reyes Pangasinan State University
Abstract
This is a descriptive-comparative study, which looked into the effects of reading stories with moral lessons to the extent of manifestations of bullying and the reading comprehension of Junior students of SY 2017-2018 based on the account of 105 Junior High School teachers in Moncada District Schools. To gather data, questionnaires were distributed to the teachers. Data were tabulated, analyzed and interpreted through descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings reveal that during before the implementation of the intervention (3rd Quarter), verbal bullying gained the highest mean at 3.88 and cyberbullying got the lowest mean at 3.17. On the reading and comprehension of the students, Teachers perceived that their students sometimes had reading materials and exposure at home; were sometimes interested in reading; had reading and comprehension difficulties; and sometimes had reading activities at home and in school. After implementation of the intervention in the 4th Quarter, it was observed that the incidences of bullying were reduced but the reading comprehension did not dramatically improve. The research concludes that the extent of manifestations of physical, verbal, social and cyber bullying among high school students can be lessened in schools through integration of reading stories with moral lessons. However, there was no evidence that it improved the reading and comprehension of the students. The research recommended that teachers must integrate reading stories with moral lessons in order to modify bullying behaviors of students. After reading stories, teachers must provide time for students to reflect and share their reflections in class. Through this, students will be able to relate their experiences with the stories and with the encounters of their classmates. Another study may be conducted to look into other factors that will improve the reading and comprehension of the students.

Development and Validation of Teacher - Made Workbook in Information Computer Technology Subject for Grade Seven
Janet A. Relucio Partido State University
Abstract
The study was conducted to develop and validate the teacher-made workbook in Computer 7. It determined what kind of workbook could be develop for the fourth quarter period in Computer 7 intended to teach students to use OpenOffice Writer as their word-processing program instead of MS Word. It also measured the curricular validity thru Evaluation of Individual Lessons and Its Activities (EILIA) and statistical validity by determining the Knowledge, Skills and Attitude (KSA) of the students after using the teacher-made workbook. The respondents of the study were seven jurors who were ICT 7 teachers of Camarines Sur National High School – Liboton Annex and the students of the sections Procyon and Rigel. The Jurors were asked to answer the Evaluation of Individual Lessons and Its Activities (EILIA), while the students’ periodical exams were used to determine KSA. It has been concluded that the EILIA results showed that the workbook in general is a very good reference material for teaching students of OpenOffice Writer, and also true specifically to the content, technical and pedagogical aspects respectively. Also, the results of the periodical exams of the students who used the workbook showed that their performance were not significantly different to those who were taught with MS Word in terms of knowledge and skills. It was then concluded that OpenOffice Writer with the aid of the workbook can serve as an alternative to MS Word as their word-processing software in Computer 7. The students’ attitude towards the workbook however resulted that they neutral toward the workbook in terms of the ease of use, usefulness and the workbook’s ability to stimulate their interests to learn OpenOffice Writer. Due to the very good rating by the jurors to the workbook, the jurors have realized and concluded that there is no need for the workbook to be revised until there is a need to do so. Until then, it was therefore concluded that the workbook will serve as a good reference for teaching OpenOffice Writer as a substitute for Microsoft Word.

Abstract
Reading is the backbone of understanding the world and everything in it. Sadly, many studies reported that reading is still a challenge to schools and it needs to be given attention. Despite the paradigm shift in Philippine education adopting the K12 curriculum and the good facilities provided, Makati Hope Christian School continue to face problems on students failing in varied subjects as well as struggling readers. Hence, the school used computer-assisted instruction, Lit Pro, a researched based software program to fill in the gap in reading. This study determines the computer-assisted instructions on the reading comprehension as perceived by intermediate students. 196, total population of the intermediate students answered a modified questionnaire on level of agreement in five categories namely; matches learners characteristic, maximizes student teacher- interaction, leads positive approaches, matches new trend of reading, and provides convenience in reading. Majority of the respondents agreed that computer assisted instruction matched their learning style or characteristic. The overall weighted mean 3.63 supports the statement. With an overall weighted mean of 3.60, result showed that majority of respondents agreed that computer assisted instruction maximized student – teacher interaction. However, opportunities to have class interaction (pair work and group work) only got a weighted mean of 3.36, uncertain or unsure. The overall mean of 4.05 reflects that majority of respondents agreed that computer- assisted instruction leads to positive approaches. It leads students to become self-reliant, disciplined and independent. It also gives them a timely feedback of their error as well as updates of their progress. The overall mean of 4.05 reflects that majority of respondents agreed that computer- assisted instruction leads to positive approaches.

Kimmy Mae V. Wee Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
The study aims to determine the burnout and job satisfaction level among city disaster risk response workers. The researcher used a descriptive correlational method of research which involved 85 respondents who were selected using convenience sampling. Standardized tests were used to ensure the validity and reliability of the results, these tests were the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) and Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS). A focus interview was also utilized. Frequency, percentage distribution, mean and Pearson Product– Moment Correlation Coefficient were employed as statistical tools to examine the relationships of the identified variables. The researcher derived the following findings based on the data gathered: the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) showed that the disaster risk response workers had a high-level exhaustion and disengagement. The Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) revealed that respondents were satisfied in the subscale of supervision, coworkers, and nature of work and dissatisfied in the subscale of pay and benefits. The focus interview showed that salary, benefits and rewards contributed to their feeling of burnout. There was a relationship between burnout and job satisfaction subscale pay, contingent rewards and communication. The researcher recommended that the respondents may attend seminars that will help them understand burnout and receive some self-help tips. The organization may review their salary matrix and have additional incentives. Future researchers may include other variables such as age, sex, income, and employment status, length of service, and personality traits that may also predict burnout and job satisfaction.

Lovely Ana M. Ventus University of Sto. Tomas
Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of spiritual bibliotherapy on increasing the level of self- esteem of the drug dependents as an integrative approach to their wellness program and the effects of the content processing on their affective, cognitive, and behavioral faculties. A Randomized pretest- posttest experimental design was used in this study. Twenty adult male residents were chosen to participate and were divided into Experimental and Control Group. The Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory Adult Version was used to measure the level of the self-esteem of both groups prior to and after the implementation of spiritual bibliotherapy. Chapters 9-15 and 17 of the book “Stop Hidden Addictions (Seven Secrets to Real Freedom)” by Bo Sanchez were utilized as the spiritual bibliotherapy material, and a self-designed likert scale guided questionnaire was also used to quantify the insights of the experimental group after each session. The findings revealed an extremely strong evidence in the increase of the level of self-esteem of the experimental group with a t-value = -9.5835 at α = .05 and a strong evidence that there is a significant difference between the posttest scores of the control and experimental group with a t-value = 2.2638 at α = .05. The results also showed the immediate effectiveness of the content processing on the affective faculty; whereas, the behavioral faculty has the weakest finding. The researcher recommends that Spiritual Bibliotherapy be included in the treatment program of the rehabilitation center and further developments on the implementation ne made to enhance its’ effects on the behavioral aspect.

Erwin P. Arcansalin Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
The study seeks to assess the implementation of Physical fitness program because this has always been an essential part of a police officer’s well-being. The main objective of the study was to assess the QCPD physical fitness program in terms of its demographics, knowledge of participants, implementation and improvement. The method used in the study is the descriptive study. Purposive sampling was utilized to acquire the 306 respondents in the study, 20 samples from each of the 12 police stations, and 46 from the District Health Service and Special Training Unit, all in active service. A researcher-made survey questionnaire was used as a primary tool in data gathering. Data were analyzed statistically thru frequency and percentage distribution, using the weighted mean and Likert 5-point Scale. Findings of the study are both groups of respondents agreed that a healthy body is an asset of the PNP organization and a key to become productive in all aspects of human life. In terms of physical agility and capability of QCPD personnel, the data showed that the physical capability of the police personnel of the QCPD is not that excellent and needs an improvement. The two groups have a different interpretation on the category statements given regarding the problems encountered in the implementation of the program. “Performing 12 hours duty everyday” as prescribed and “Not all personnel are complying with the Physical Fitness Program of PNP” are verbal interpretations considered as a serious problem on the overall results. From statement one (1) to seven (7) of PNP QCPD respondents, it was a highly recommended solution which differed from the other respondents, they only considered statement number one up to statement seven (7) as a recommendable solution that needs to be implemented to resolve the problems. The respondents agreed that physical fitness should be strictly implemented to enhance not only their physical abilities, but also to maintain a healthy lifestyle.The researcher recommends a review of hours of duty served by a police officer, strict monitoring of all QCPD personnel performing the Physical Fitness test and the Agility test, procurement of all appropriate needed equipment, and to educate not only the implementers of the program, but also to enhance the knowledge of the participants. A short and long- term plan should be tailored to the needs of the persons in the organization and workplace.

Ronald Alejo M. Guiriba Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
This study examines the competitive anxiety when it comes to sports, and the burnout level of respondent Student-athletes and their significant difference when respondents were grouped according to profile. Subjects Participants were the 167 student-athletes of Polytechnic University of the Philippines. The Procedure Sport Competitive Anxiety Test (SCAT), developed by Rainer Martens in 1990) was administered to determine each athletes level of sports competitive anxiety. The composite scores (CS) were analyzed according to SCAT score analysis norms. The Athlete Burnout Instrument (ABI) from Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ; Raedeke, 1997; Raedeke & Smith, 2001) was also administered to identify the level of burnout of each respondent. Frequency distribution, percentage and weighted mean were used to interpret the Responses gathered. T-test was used for the analysis of the two independent variables. One-way ANOVA was used to know the significant difference between the level of sports competitive anxiety and burnout of the respondents when grouped according to the respondents’ profile. Results based on the Sports Competitive Anxiety Test, revealed that the Athletes had an average level of anxiety. Findings from the Athletes Burnout Instrument showed that the level of burnout was medium level. Since the f-values and p-values were greater than .05, assumed level of significance, the null hypotheses were accepted. When the respondents were grouped according to profile, their levels of sports competitive anxiety and burnout do not vary significantly. Hence, statistically the same. An Intervention Program is recommended to to meet the pressing need of the student-athletes to eliminate or decrease the occurrence of anxiety and burnout in their daily workload (academic and athletic). The program includes swimming activities that can be adapted by different coaches in their respective team.

Effects of Utilizing Brain Gym Exercises in MAPEH Education Performances of Grade 10 Students of M.B. Asistio Sr. High School
Melchor U. Catulin Department of Education
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of the Brain Gym exercises among the Grade 10 students of M.B. Asistio Sr. High School in Caloocan City. The program was made to test between the experimental group of students from sections Fibonacci and Euler which performed the Brain Gym exercises in the MAPEH subjects for 10 minutes and the controlled group of students from Galilei and Aristotle which held the regular classes without the Brain Gym exercises. The researcher designed a pre-test and post-test given to those respondents before and after the introduction of the Brain Gym exercises using the third quarter topics within a period of two months from November 20, 2017 until January 12, 2018. The results of this study indicated that there is a considerable change between the pre-test and the post-test scores of the experimental and controlled groups. The student- respondents in the experimental group had shown improved knowledge about the third quarter topics in Music and Arts than those student-respondents in the controlled group after the Brain Gym exercises program was conducted in the experimental group before the delivery of the third quarter topics in the MAPEH classes. The control group which was not subjected with using the Brain Gym, however; had shown better results in their pre-tests and post-tests for the third quarter in MAPEH. It also suggested that there was a significant difference between the scores of the two groups after the two-month session of brain gym exercises. The study confirms the influence of the Brain Gym exercises and showed favourable results to physical activities in the experimental group. Thus, Brain Gym exercises must be given to students in the Physical Education courses to further enhance their active participation and increase their academic performances.

An Assessment of the Handling of Child Abuse Investigation (Pursuant to Republic Act 7610) by the Masambong Police Station
Sherly Dayag Montaño Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
Children are the foundation and the primordial considerations in building a nation. They are the engines for growth and development. As Odoh and Innocent (2014) emphasized, the wheel of development in any country depends on how productive and creative are the youthful population. They are the leaders of tomorrow, so the future of the land lies in their hands; hence, they should be provided with utmost care and protection. A number of people believed that the real number of abused children goes beyond the foregoing figures. To law enforcement officers, these personal fears prevent them from getting the facts of the case, which may hamper these officers in implementing the law. For the case studies, the researcher gathered respondent’s socio- demographic data and assessed how the Masambong Police Department Women’s Desk handle cases of child abuse in terms of: behavioral, physical, and technical aspects. The case studies also include problems and gaps encountered by the Masambong Women’s Desk. Finally, the researcher made recommendations and proposed solutions to address the problems encountered by the Women’s Desk of Masambong Quezon City in handling child abuse cases. The method of research used in this study was the descriptive method. . Probability sampling was employed in selecting the respondents by means of Simple random sampling and convenience sampling. The findings of the study revealed that the Masambong Women’s Desk faced problems in terms of physical, behavioral, and technical aspects such as: inadequate personnel assigned to the Women’s Desk, lack of logistical support and office equipment, and inadequate mobile cars transporting victims to the concerned government agencies. The researcher made the recommendations for the Masambong Women’s Desk: construction of a new, friendlier room for the Masambong Women’s Desk allocation of a dedicated patrol car and gas allowance, monthly training and seminars on laws, policies, and protocols related to handling child abuse investigation. The PNP must enhance the policy formulation, strict adherence to operational process in handling children’s cases, as well as the respect for human rights and the welfare of the victims. Additional support, coordination with Non-Government Organizations (NGO’s) and other concerned agencies especially the Social Services Development Department (SSDD) is needed to provide victims sustainable programs, diversions, and proper interventions.

Evaluation of DPWH Department Order No. 41, s. 2016 (Amended Policy Guidelines on the Maintenance of National Roads and Bridges)
Joseph Rei Mark Co Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
The maintenance of national roads and bridges is a vital component that prolongs the life of a country’s infrastructure assets. Moreover, these activities are done in order to ensure the safety and convenience of the travelling public. In the Philippines, this task lies on the shoulders of the Department of Public Works and Highways Maintenance personnel. The Bureau of Maintenance under the Technical Services of the DPWH Central Office crafts the policies and guidelines related to this endeavor and monitors the compliance of the 16 Regional Offices and 183 District Engineering Offices nationwide. The latest and most comprehensive department issuance concerning road and bridge maintenance is D.O. 41, s. 2016. In this study, the researcher evaluated the pointing system used in the department order by analyzing the data gathered from its two-year implementation period. The result of the analysis shows that the range of values currently used to benchmark the performance of implementing offices are far from the average inspection, validation, and justification values based on historical data. Therefore, the researcher recommends updating these values to reflect actual field conditions. In addition, the researcher proposes the inclusion of additional three defects for monitoring: (1) damaged / missing guardrails, (2) bumps / uneven pavement, and (3) landslide / soil collapse / rock fall in order to improve the coverage of the said department order.

Sherrenne R. De Amboy Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
This research would like to assess the compliance of the Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007 in Polytechnic University of the Philippines. This paper will not just focus on the ARTA implementation but to see if the clienteles where satisfied with the service. PUP clienteles will be purposively selected in evaluating the compliance for ARTA of 2007 as well as the 29 frontline employees. The findings come across in implementing the law will help the researcher in proposing interventions and pertinent actions in the creation of a clientele satisfaction in PUP. Further, results of this research can serves as source for the further restructure frontline services in PUP. The compliance with ARTA of 2007 in PUP shows that respondents rated Accessing Frontline Service as the highest among the assessment of ARTA of 2007 in PUP with a weighted mean average of 3.78 of “Complied.” Second among the ranking is Anti-fixer campaign with 3.73 over-all weighted mean or “complied”. The Citizen‟s Charter got a weighted mean of 3.72 or “Complied.” In addition, the lowest rank is the Basic Facilities with general weighted average of 3.18 or “Moderately Complied.” The level of customer satisfaction PUP was rated in terms of Timeliness with a weighted mean 3.55 (satisfied). Followed by Efficiency with a weighted mean average rating of 3.73 (complied). Lastly, Quality with a weighted mean average rating of 3.63 (satisfied).Hence, there were significantly deference between the assessment of the clientelles and PUP frontline employees towards the implementation of ARTA of 2007 and the level of satisfaction to the delivered service. On the other hand, the dominant remarks given by the respondents states that there were a dimension or gap between the insiders (Frontline employee) and outsider (clientele). Most of the frontline employee according to the PUP clienteles are unapproachable, “masungit”, “namamahiya”, “mainitin ang ulo”. These dominant remarks of the clients and personal observation of the researcher regarding the service frontline employees of pup is the reason why even if clienteles rated the quality of service as „satisfied‟, there were still part of the service that push them to put feedback on the survey. This shows that even PUP did comply with ARTA the aspect of giving a customer satisfaction was disregarded.

Proposed Revival of Reserve Officers Training Corps. Towards Promoting Responsible Citizenship
Resur Rey Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
The Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) is a citizen army concept created during the Commonwealth and Marcos era. This was, however, rescinded during Pres. Arroyo’s era. As of today, majority of the youth are not aware or sensitive enough to become a responsible citizen who possess traits/qualities of a morally upright person. That is why there should be intervention during their youth to train and educate them through education. We can create programs and hands-on training like ROTC program in preparation to becoming a military reservist. This study involved 550 students and 26 faculty members out of 1,145 students and 55 faculty members respectively of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Sto. Tomas, Batangas. A total of 576 respondents participated in the study. Descriptive method of research was utilized. Five-point Likert style rating scale method of questionnaire was employed in this study to collect views of respondents. This enabled the researcher to ask the respondents how strongly they agree or disagree with a series of statements. In addition, questionnaires and interviews on analysis of pertinent documents related to ROTC was done. These documents included Executive Orders, Memorandum Circulars,Department Orders, Presidential Decrees and existing laws on the matter. Statistical treatment was also applied in the study. Based on the respondents’ assessment on the importance of reviving ROTC, what became evident was the focus on patriotism with high respect in human rights. ROTC training will provide higher sense of moral values and will manifest and contribute to responsible citizenry. ROTC can train thousands of young men and women as defenders of our country. The youth have graduated from the training camps with a stronger sense of patriotism. Producing a number of fine officers who can fought battles against foreign invaders as well as different kinds of rebel military groups who threatened our country. Revival of the ROTC will help reinvigorate new sense of patriotism, replenish the military and strengthen the national defense.The qualities of good citizenship based on the point of view of college graduates and undergraduates had no significant difference.

A Content Analysis of Opinion Columns on the Government’s “War on Drugs” Published in Three Broadsheets
Edgardo M. Llamera Polytechnic University of the Philippines
This study is a content analysis of opinion articles which were published about the government’s anti- drug campaign by the Manila Bulletin, Philippine Daily Inquirer, and Philippine Star during the period July 2016 to July 2017. Working on the theoretical framework that media uses framing to organize and categorize the ideas it wants to relay to the audience, the study compared the manner by which the three newspapers presented the anti-drug issue in terms of treatment, tone, and framing. The study included an analysis of 378 opinion articles taken from the websites of the three broadsheets. The results showed that the three broadsheets treated most of their opinion articles on the “war on drugs” issue in a critical/evaluative manner. Most of the Philippine Daily Inquirer articles were negative in slant, garnering 72.90%, while the Manila Bulletin articles were neutral with 44.90%, and the Philippine Star had more articles with positive tone (21.96%). The result could be attributed to the newspaper’s tradition and categorization as conservative, adversarial, centralized or decentralized in decision making. Based on framing typologies used in previous studies, the study categorized all opinion articles into one of five frames. Accordingly, the frames used by the columnists on the “war on drugs” in terms of rank were: attribution of responsibility, conflict, articulation of solution, morality, and human interest, respectively. Future researchers are encouraged to pursue more exploratory research on local punditry encompassing the different media platforms and to consider the political economy of the media outlets.

At the end, the researcher proposed solutions to 7-Eleven. Interviews, focus group discussions and observations were used as research methods. The data gathered reveals that the customer care management of 7-Eleven Philippines was not perfect. Although there were lapses on responding because of the sheer volume, they were continuously improving their customer care strategies given the rise of social media customer service. The activities and concerns of Social Customers were sharing things that provoke their emotions. Their expectations were to get faster response, resolutions and transparency. If they got no response, they would look for ways to be noticed. In fact, they habitually left comments to every post made by 7-Eleven even those are unrelated. Results showed that customer care had a direct influence to customer satisfaction. It was concluded that fixing the structure within the organization could help in delivering exceptional service. Response time is a key driver of customer satisfaction. The researcher recommended the creation of company policies and modules for improvement and build a customer service culture.

Clients’ and Frontline Employees’ Views of Service Quality in the Civil Registry Department of Quezon City: Towards An Improved Services Delivery
Joam B. Sevilla Local Government Unit
Abstract
Service quality is an assessment of the delivered service and the client's expectations of the service. Government agencies often evaluate the service quality provided to their clients in order to improve their service, to quickly determine the problems, and to better measure client satisfaction. The Service Quality Model or SERVQUAL Model was used to measure the service quality experienced by customers. This study focused on assessing the frontline services of the Civil Registry Department of Quezon City in terms of reliability, responsiveness, empathy, assurance, and tangibles. Also, it sought to identify the service quality gaps in the delivery of frontline services by the Civil Registry Department of Quezon City, as well as, the problems encountered by the respondents in the delivery of frontline services. The study employed a descriptive method of research as well as weighted mean and percentages to treat the data gathered. Also, the researcher used primary and secondary data. The primary data were gathered using the survey questionnaire while the secondary data came from journals, literature, and online sources. Convenience sampling was used to determine the number of clients of the Civil Registry Department of Quezon City while the entire population of the employees was considered in the study. The findings show that frontline employees of the Civil Registry Department of Quezon City have the ability to perform the promised services, are responsive and willing to help the clients, and can deal with customers’ requests, questions, complaints and problems. The Civil Registry Department has limited computers and poor quality of materials that are used for the preparation of certified true copies of documents. Limited windows for payments are open that resulted to long queues during peak days—every Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. There is no data base available for old documents and delayed registrations in the Civil Registry Department, that is why employees spent a longer time processing the requests of clients. Recommendations are: acquisition of computers to be installed in the other windows; improvement of the database for the old documents; allowance for late registration to ease the processing of documents; increase in the number of windows for payments during peak days; use of clear and readable materials. upgrade of the equipment for photocopying; removal of the Palakasan system and the Citizen’s Charter must be translated in Filipino.

The main objective of the study is to provide analyses of the effects of selected socio-demographic factors i.e. age, gender, marital status, tenure of service, and residential location on the employees’ performance of selected departments/offices of a government organization. The effect of the explanatory variables was estimated through the use of Panel Regression Analysis. The findings reveal that all of the variables used in the model had passed the unit root test at level, which means that the ratio of the number of panels to time periods tend to zero asymptotically, and therefore the variables were acceptable to use for modeling and regression. The results also show that there is a weak positive correlation between the employees’ performance and residential location; whereas, there was very weak and negative correlation between employees’ performance and the employees’ age, gender, marital status, and tenure of service. Furthermore, age and gender appeared to be statistically significant using the Fixed Effect Model. The gender positively contributed to employees’ performance, while age negatively influenced the employees’ performance. If taken collectively, the selected socio-demographic variables significantly affect the employees’ performance. The variations in employees’ performance were significantly explained by the variations in employees’ age, gender, marital status, tenure of service, and residential location. There were significant differences in the employees’ performance of departments/offices in an organization. The Fixed Effect Model is the appropriate model to use for employees’ performance.

The Effect of Financial Repression on Total Investment: An Instrumental Variable Method
Romuel E. Zamoranos Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas
Abstract
Financial repression was characterized in various government policies to control certain macroeconomic variables like interest rate and reserve ratio requirement. Many studies and literatures mentioned that the repressed financial sectors discourage both savings and investments because of lower rate of return and restricting bank portfolio to productive investments. The Two-Stage Least Square (TSLS) method was used to estimate the effect of the explanatory variables such as interest rate and reserve ratio on investment. Using different statistical tests, the results revealed that all variables employed in the model had passed the unit root test or test for stationarity which signified that the regression of the variables was feasible. Furthermore, the F-test and Hausman test indicated that the instrument is relevant. The OLS and TSLS were significantly different and can be concluded that instrument variable is exogenous. There was a very weak negative correlation between investment and its determinants while savings has a strong positive correlation to investments. Although, interest rate and reserve ratio had no significant effect on investment, it exerted a negative influence in investment which followed the theoretical expectation. The study revealed that there was strong evidence that savings had a major role on investment.

Christine Virtue Y. Tabinas Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
The study aims to assess the effectiveness of the internal control practices of medium-sized retailers in Pasay City. The descriptive-survey method of research was used in this study. Respondents were composed of 176 employees of higher management, from grocery stores and supermarkets in Pasay City, which practice and implement an internal control system. Based on the findings, the respondents’ assessment on the company’s internal control practices in terms of Control Environment, Information and Communication, and Control Activities were deemed effective. The study also notes several significant differences in the respondents’ assessment on internal control practices when grouped according to form of business, number of employees and capitalization. Recommendations have been formulated such as, that the management should understand the importance of investigations and evaluations conducted by auditors regarding the internal control system. There should be specific lines of authority, implementation of adequate internal control and segregation of duties. Furthermore, the managers and employees should have better understanding on their responsibilities. A further study on the internal control practices of grocery stores and supermarkets, for an in-depth analysis on the operations of the business, is recommended.

Image Restoration Strategies of LRT-2 Service Performance in Managing Its Crisis
Werllie P. Bueno Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
Since the Philippines maintains to be one of the strongest, fastest-growing and a promising economy, road congestion or more known as “traffic jams” pose a challenge, for it is inevitable to all developing and growing urban areas. It is all over the country, though it is not as horrible in the roads of Metro Manila. To decongest Metro Manila, new infrastructure was established and traffic management was improved. New roads, expressways, overlapping flyovers and skyways were built, but did not decrease the road congestion. The establishment of LRT is also an indication that the country is indeed a developing country and therefore, needs to keep pace with its own development—from the increasing population and its demand, to the growing economy. However, problems have risen after many years of service. It encountered crises that discouraged loyal passengers and potential commuters. Crises are threats that can damage an individual or organization’s credibility, relationships, marketability, and economic welfare. When a crisis strikes, it results to the destruction of the organization’s image. Thus, William Benoit’s Image Restoration Theory, as a crisis response, is needed to repair the damage the crisis has inflicted. The purpose of this study is two-fold. First, it identifies the Image Restoration Strategies (IRS) and measures the effectiveness of each tactics employed by LRT-2 during a crisis situation. Second, it determines passenger’s expectations regarding the image restoration strategies LRT-2 should apply in managing its crisis. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, a survey was administered to 400 LRT-2 passengers to know their views on the eight IRS LRT-2 used in managing its crisis. Among the eight strategies, as well as what IRS LRT-2 should employ, LRT-2 passengers (cross tabulated with their profiles) considered Compensation and Minimization to be the best strategy LRT-2 had employed, followed by Corrective Action. Mortification, though it is an admission of guilt, it is still perceived to be effective since it could lead to corrective action.

Level of Effectiveness of Internal Control Systems of Cooperatives in Batangas City
Angelica Mae G. Ebora Hedcor, Inc
Abstract
This study aims to assess the level of effectiveness of the internal control system of Cooperatives in Batangas City. The descriptive-survey method was utilized. The researcher employed the use of modified type of survey-questionnaire with 45 items for assessment of the target respondents.The respondents generally assessed their respective control environment as effective while the current control and monitoring activities as well as CDA compliance were all assessed as very effective. For a more effective control environment, cooperative policies and procedures must be clearly and continuously communicated to the members. It is also helpful to establish a documentation process that will clearly define authority and responsibilities both the members and officials. Maintaining the basic segregation of duties in cooperatives must be ensured despite limited personnel. This will also allow an opportunity for better monitoring activities. It is worth to have at least one activity that will keep the employees engaged like team-building, simple dinner or workshop. The researcher strongly recommends that the board of directors should create different committees that will handle each activity of the multipurpose cooperative. To keep the transparency flowing, quarter variance reviews can be implemented to identify if the cooperative is operating in accordance to what has been projected at the start of the year. This will also aide to identify unusual fluctuations and variances that may indicate fraud or other circumstances that need to be resolved immediately. Cooperatives must also take into consideration the ageing of the members and start to attract individuals in their mid-30’s to become members. This will ensure not only the continuity of the cooperative as an organization but also allow succession of established policies and accounting practices of the cooperative.

Correlating the Organizational Characteristics of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program on the Job Satisfaction and Performance of its Implementers in Quezon Province
Deovelyn A. Bejo Polytechnic University of the Philippines
This study correlates the organizational characteristics of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program on the Job Satisfaction and Performance of Its Implementers in Quezon Province. It targeted all the 111 Municipal Links and 43 Social Welfare Assistants as its main respondents. It used the Descriptive-Survey and Descriptive Status Methods of Research and the Mean and Pearson r Correlation for the statistical treatment in order to analyze the data. Findings reveal respondent- implementers have a differing perception on the organizational characteristics of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program in terms of purpose, leadership, relationships, rewards, and helpful mechanisms. In terms of structure and attitude toward change, respondent-implementers have somehow similar perception. In terms of the level of job satisfaction respondent-implementers present a somehow similar level of job satisfaction. For both of them, they expressed higher satisfaction about their co-workers and the lowest level of satisfaction for job security and compensation. For the job performance of the Municipal Links, preparing Monthly Accomplishment Report and all other reports have the highest mean and interpreted as always. It is followed by following the DSWD's Code of Conduct and other enacted office rules and regulating plan of activities and budgetary requirements at the municipal level; for the SWAs, facilitating and coordinating with school and health centers relative to CVS monitoring and retrieval. It is followed by taking care of the DSWD properties as entrusted to them for the implementation of the program. However, attending seminars, trainings, and workshops related to the performance of their job has the lowest mean. Therefore, the hypothesis that there is a significant relationship between the organizational characteristics and job satisfaction is partially rejected considering the p values of purpose and attitude towards change not significant with probability >0.05. However, at some extent it is accepted having structure and leadership with p values construed as significant with probability of 0.05. Meanwhile, for the relationship Municipal Links and SWAs have their different valuation wherein for the former, it is accepted, while for the latter, it is rejected. Furthermore, rewards and helpful mechanisms are considered rejected for the SWAs while for the MLs, interpretation could not be done given their responses had no variation.

Abstract
The study focuses on the assessment of the perception of the residence of the Municipality of Cainta on its conversion into a city. It investigated on the municipality’s compliance with the statutory requirements of the law for cityhood conversion. Furthermore, it assesses the perception of the residents of the municipality on the advantages and disadvantages of such conversion and on whether to approve or reject the proposed conversion. The researcher used the sample random sampling technique to determine the sample of 400 respondents whose responses on a self-made questionnaire were gathered, tallied, and subjected to statistical treatment. Frequency and percentage distribution, weighted mean, as well as the Pearson Chi-Square were used to interpret the data gathered. The study revealed that the Municipality of Cainta passed the income and population requirements for cityhood as prescribed by Republic Act No. 9009, notwithstanding the failure to meet the land area requirement. The research showed that the people of Cainta “agreed” on the perceived advantages and disadvantages of the creation of the city of Cainta. From the results of the study, it appeared that the people of Cainta favored the conversion of the municipality into a city. Lastly, the study revealed that there was no significant relationship in the respondents’ assessment when they were grouped according to their demographic profile. However, a significant difference in the respondents’ evaluation was found when they were grouped according to their respective barangays. A considerable number of respondents from Barangay San Juan were significantly in favor of Cainta’s conversion into a city. Respondents of Barangays Sto.Domingo, San Andres, San Isidro and Sto. Nino also expressed their extremely favorable response. On the other hand, Barangays San Roque and Santa Rosa expressed identical responses which were considered to be only average.

Quantity Take Off Software System On Selected Construction Companies
Jessica Andaya Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
Traditionally, quantity take off was developed manually measuring directly from physical papers, and 2D drawings. Manual estimation is a tedious, time consuming, and error-prone process. However, in the recent years, quantity take off software has gained popularity in the construction industry. This software can support 2D drawing, 3D models or PDF file format and capable of generating quantities automatically. However, despite the reported benefits on adopting quantity take off software within the company, very little has been reported utilizing the software on construction projects in the National Capital Region of the Philippines. This study aimed to determine the assessment of the construction sector in NCR in the utilization of quantity take off software system. Selected construction companies were surveyed using survey questionnaires to determine their assessment on the level of implementation of quantity take off software system, and the action plan may be adopted to utilize the quantity take off software in the construction companies. The results suggested utilization of quantity take off software system in construction projects and recommended the identification of the benefits that it could offer.

The Relationship Between Religiosity and Psychological Well-Being of Millennials: Basis for Spiritual Intervention Program
Kristine-Ann B. Guevara Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
Inspired by the theories on Religious motivation, Positive, and Transpersonal Psychology, this research aimed to discover the presence, strength, and direction of the relationship between religiosity and the six dimensions of psychological well-being as basis for a proposed spiritual intervention program. The respondents involved were 184 members of Singles for Christ Metro Manila with ages between 21 to 37 years old. Convenience sampling technique was applied. Instruments used were the Psychological Well-Being Scales and Centrality of Religiosity Scale. Results revealed that there is a relationship between religiosity and the six dimensions of psychological well-being. The Catholic millennial respondents showed high levels for both variables. The dimensions personal growth, positive relations with others, purpose in life, and self-acceptance exhibited a moderate positive relationship, while autonomy and environmental mastery indicated a weak positive relationship with religiosity. The recommended spiritual intervention program included modules that targets to strengthen their three weakest areas: having technical knowledge about their faith, expressing personal views and opinions, and assertively managing daily demands and responsibilities. The recommendation is for millennials, regardless of religion, to ask more about their faith, bank more on personal rather than mobile encounters with people, and be active and open to formation programs in their respective denominations and sects.

Towards Motivated Government Civilian Employees: An Assessment of the Job Satisfaction and Job Performance of the Philippine National Police - Quezon City Police District’s Non- Uniformed Personnel
Gertie Joy Espino Hilario Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
This paper aims to determine the level of job satisfaction of the Philippine National Police (PNP) - Quezon City Police District’s (QCPD) Non-Uniformed Personnel (NUP) using the Motivation- Hygiene Factor theory of Herzberg. Also, it seeks to determine if there is significant relationship between each of the motivator and hygiene factors of job satisfaction and job performance of the NUP respondents. A total of one hundred non-uniformed personnel who have been employed for two years and above were selected using convenience sampling to participate in the process. The primary source of data came from the actual responses of the non-uniformed respondents through a self-made questionnaire and an interview. The Likert 4-Point Scale and Pearson r correlation were particularly used by the researcher to measure the level of respondent’s job satisfaction and its relationship with job performance. The result revealed that the factor that contributes most to job satisfaction of the non-uniformed personnel (NUP) is the achievement factor. Growth was second, followed by work itself, recognition and advancement respectively. The NUP respondents feel that they have positively delivered and contributed towards the PNP organization. The factor that contributed to job dissatisfaction is salary. Accordingly, the respondents believe that their salary pay is not commensurate to the work they provide for the organization. Moreover, the big salary gap between non-uniformed personnel (NUP) and uniformed personnel (UP) cause dissatisfaction among them. It has been hypothesized in the paper that there is no significant relationship between job performance and each of the motivator and hygiene factors of job satisfaction. Based on the conclusions, it is highly recommended that the PNP organization should continue to motivate the NUP through conferment of appropriate awards for significant achievements and/or outstanding performances. Also, there should be a review of the current pay structure to ensure that the compensation of NUP is competitive with their uniformed counterparts and lobby in the Congress to make the lawmakers be aware of the plight of the NUP. Further, the PNP should create more plantilla positions to provide NUP more opportunities for promotion. Likewise, more trainings, seminars, and continuing education be extended to them for their personal growth and development.

Emotions Profile as Correlates to Coping Mechanism of Overseas Filipino Workers’ Children: Implications to Children of Migrant Filipino Workers
Klara Patricia Laureta Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
With the recent numbers of overseas Filipino workers in the Philippines, it seems justifiable to do a survey regarding the children of migrant workers especially within the school setting to give OFWs idea about the characteristics of their children. This urged the researcher to conduct an action research on 2012 regarding the difficulties of the sons and daughters of OFWs in the said institution. The findings of the research reveal that there are three identified difficulties experienced by these children, those are in terms of emotional aspect, problems within the family and school and academics. Upon learning that the difficulties they experienced has to do with emotions, the researcher decided to explore more on this variable. Having the knowledge about the emotions profile of the children of overseas Filipino workers and how they cope when they are faced with challenges is important in the formulation of the appropriate and effective Guidance program for them. The objective of the study is to investigate the (1) emotions profile as well as the (2) five dominant emotions and coping mechanisms employed by left behind children; (3) the relationship between the two variables and its (4) implications to children of Filipino migrant workers. This study collected data from 199 children in a Catholic school aged 15-18 years old. Emotions Profile Index (EPI) was used to measure the respondents’ emotions, and Brief COPE version was used in determining their coping mechanism. Results show that the respondents scored high on Depressed (m=67.04) and Timid (m=63.2) which are also their dominant emotions, while they scored low on Dyscontrolled (35.74) and Gregarious (37.59). The five dominant coping mechanisms include Acceptance (m=6.53), Active Coping (m=6.43), Positive reframing (m=6.30), Planning (m=6.28), and Self-distraction (m=6.20). Findings also indicated that there is no relationship between the two dominant emotions and the five dominant mechanisms of the respondents. Based on the results, child respondents are prone to have serious psychological problems in the future such as difficulty in interpersonal relationships, fear in taking risks, and risk of having suicidal tendencies if not addressed. Though they show positive coping mechanism, the respondents perhaps were in denial in terms of their coping which may have contributed to the result that the dominant emotions and five dominant coping mechanisms have no significant relationship. Hence, it is important to create a program that promotes the well-being of these left-behind children and to strengthen their coping mechanism.

Jeizel Rose DC. Boñales National Electrification Administration
Abstract
The researcher seeks to investigate the relationship of the nature of attachment of the adolescents to their parents and peers in terms of trust, quality of communication and feelings of anger and alienation and the sexual attitudes. The researcher utilized the descriptive correlational method of research. 236 Grades 11 and 12 students of the Eulogio Amang Rodriguez Vocational High School were selected using Convenience Sampling and were required to answer the Inventor of Parents and Peer Attachment (IPPA) and Sexual Attitudes and Experiences Questionnaire The results were subjected to statistical treatment and interpretation. Findings showed that majority of the respondents have placed the highest level of trust to their mothers, followed by their peers and fathers. They exhibited the highest quality of communication towards their peers, followed by mothers and their fathers. As to feelings of anger and alienation, they demonstrated the highest feelings of alienation to their peers followed by their mothers, the feeling of alienation is lowest to the fathers. They manage self-control in engaging in sexual acts and seemed to put a great deal on having monogamous relationships. Meanwhile, respondents who are living on their own were more agreeable and knowledgeable in terms of sexual issues while respondents living with their relatives displayed more conservative views about sexual issues. The respondents’ views about reproduction or procreation have a positive weak relationship with their fathers. The nature of parents and peer attachments plays a small protective role in adolescent sex behavior and attitudes because it was found out that there is no significant relationship between parents and peer attachment and their sexual attitudes. As a result, a proposed program on Sexual Education was proposed. The module answers the need that will make sure that the adolescents will be properly guided as they undergo the period of sexual exploration. Furthermore, it aims to eliminate or avoid the risky sexual behaviors; strengthen the impact of parental roles to improve the understanding of the adolescents to the different issues on sexuality; create a peer education session that will engage the adolescents to foster a mature relationship with their co-peers underlining life skills in dating; and reinforce the relationship between the parents and the adolescents, to address the gap on the level of trust and quality of communication between parents and adolescents.

A Multivariate Analysis of the Effect of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) on School Performance of Sampaguita High School in Caloocan City
Mary Ann Paldez Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
This research paper empirically validates the effect of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program on the school performance indicators of Sampaguita High School in terms of enrolment, dropout rate and promotion rate from school year 2011-2012 to 2016-2017. Three (3) approaches were used to determine the effect of the number of 4Ps recipient on enrolment, dropout rate and promotion rate, namely: the computed statistics for Pooled Least Square estimation indicates that number of 4Ps recipient has no significant effect to the explained variables such as enrolment, dropout rate and promotion rate. Moreover, the Fixed Effect Model estimation indicates that number of 4Ps recipient has significant effects to the explained variables such as dropout rate and promotion rate. However, the number of 4Ps recipient has no significant effect on enrolment. Further, the Random Effect estimation explicitly presented that the member of 4Ps recipient has significant effect on dropout rate and promotion rate but has no significant effect on school enrolment. On the basis of Joined Test, Breusch-Pagan Test and Hausman Test, among the three models, the Random Effect Model is suitable to explain the effect of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program.

An Assessment of the Philippine National Police’s Crime Incident Reporting System: Towards an Improved Program Application
Michelle Godilo Kiseo Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to assess the Philippine National Police’s Crime Incident Reporting System and the problems encountered in order to improve its program application in terms of ECONOMY, EFFICIENCY, and EFFECTIVENESS. The researcher utilized the descriptive method using a researcher-made questionnaire. This was distributed to two sets of respondents that included the crime registrars and statisticians who operate the system, and the chiefs-of-police and staff of the Directorate for Investigation and Detection Management (DIDM) who use the information extracted from the system. To determine the profile of the respondents, as well as the analysis of data, the descriptive statistical measures like frequencies, weighted mean, and percentages were used. Based on the results and findings derived from this study, the researcher concludes that in terms of ECONOMY, the annual budget allocation of the PNP for the CIRS is not sufficient. For EFFICIENCY, the biggest challenge is the weak wifi connection, that cannot accommodate the memory capacity usage of the CIRS, that delays the encoding of cases, lengthens report preparation time, and delays the gathering of information; Lastly for EFFECTIVENESS, the researcher concludes that the CIRS helped in increasing the Crime Solution Efficiency and decreasing the crime rate in the country. This means that the goal of CIRS to be an effective tool in helping decision makers and security strategists in enhancing crime solution efficiency and reducing the crime rate in the country is being achieved.

Gina C. Tomimbang Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
The main objective of the study is to assess the impact, probability and the overall magnitude of business risks to the company’s operation. The purpose of risk assessment is to evaluate the identified business risks in terms of operation, financial, marketing and sales, technology and compliance and legal aspects to assist the management in making decisions, based on the outcomes of risks analysis, about which risks need treatment and the priority for treatment implementation. The study utilized the descriptive method and used a survey questionnaire to gather the data. The weighted mean and percentage were computed to determine the impact, the probability and the overall magnitude of business risk to the company’s operation. Based on the findings it was concluded that the magnitude of operational risk resulted to inventory management, credit risk, buyer power, proprietary product and tax risk having the highest weighted mean. It is therefore recommended for the company to adopt a risk treatment which may involve selecting one or more options for modifying risks, and implementing those options. Risk treatment options includes the avoidance of the risk , reducing the risk, sharing or transferring the risk or the company may decide to retain the risk by informed decision. Selecting the most appropriate risk treatment option involves balancing the costs and efforts of implementation against the benefits derived, with regard to legal, regulatory, and other requirements such as social responsibility and the protection of the natural environment.

Cecilia M. Suerte Felipe Polytechnic University of the Philippines
The study aims to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, economically, equitability and ethicality of the Philippine National Police Recruitment and Selection Process (PNP RSP) through a Quantitative Descriptive Research. The researcher surveyed three groups of respondents – policymakers, policy implementers and police recruits – to be able to get a clearer picture of the PNP RSP. The findings of the study indicated that there is a need for PNP to adopt measures to comply with each of the 5 Es. On the aspect of effectiveness, the PNP should create a template for a fixed schedule and guidelines of the PNP RSP so that there will be lesser human intervention and disorderly and chaotic conduct of RSP. On the efficiency aspect, there should be a mandatory compilation of best practices and innovations made on PNP RSP by National Support Units (NSUs) then share to police units for their ready reference and as a tool for more innovation. On the economic aspect, the PNP should impose mandatory posting of a periodic financial report in the conduct of RSP by the NSUs and Police Regional Offices (PROs). On the equitability, there should be a periodic analysis of demographics and deeper background checks on every police applicant. For transparency, there should be posting of the names of police applicants in public places to solicit feedback from the community about the applicant’s personality and character. On the ethicality, a regular recital of the police pledge of honor by every police applicant during and after the recruitment process to inculcate good character.

Abstract
In the past seven decades, the Philippine government has enacted several laws and implemented measures that will protect and preserve the environment and safeguard public health from the adverse impact of improper waste disposal methods. In line with the Republic Act 9003, the City Government of Calamba adopted several measures to addressed these concerns such as the passage of City Ordinance No. 01-273 or the Environment Code of the City of Calamba and City Ordinance No. 10- 481 Series of 2010 prohibiting the use of plastic bags on dry goods and Styrofoam as packaging. The focus of this study is to determine the level of awareness of the residents of Calamba on the four subsets of the MSWM Programs of the city government viz a viz, City Ordinances, MSWM Methods, Public Information, Education, and Communication Campaign, and Information Campaign on Mass Media. The disposal behaviour of the residents of their household wastes and the challenges they encountered in the implementation of disposal methods and problems encountered with the MSWM Service of the city government is also taken into consideration. To arrive at the findings, this study used the data obtained from the survey questionnaire consisted of 4 parts with a sum of 60 questions in a 5-point Likert scale distributed to 540 respondents across the 54 barangays of the City of Calamba. The data were statistically treated through frequency distribution, weighted mean, independent sample t-test, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for analysis and interpretation. In conclusion, the respondents’ level of awareness on the four subsets of the MSWM programs was somewhat aware to moderately aware. A significant difference on the level of awareness was evident when the respondents were grouped according to age, educational level and annual household income. Eight out of nine proper disposal methods were moderately practiced while improper disposal methods such as mixing batteries and electronic wastes with general garbage and burning of wastes were somewhat practiced by the respondents. A significant difference on the level of implementation was evident when the respondents were grouped according to age, educational level, size of family, and annual household income. The respondents also perceived that the problems they encountered in the implementation of household wastes disposal methods and with the MSWM service of the City Government of Calamba is on a very serious level.

Frequency, weighted mean, percentage, t-test, and one-way ANOVA were the statistical tools employed in computing data. Results revealed that the majority of the respondents agree that mountain climbing diversifies the local economy and unites various groups inside the community to work together. Moreover, when it comes to ecological impact of mountain climbing activities, most of the respondents disagreed that mountain climbing may results to soil degradation, can cause natural hazards, causes pollution, and can cause destruction of natural vegetation. The most common difficulties and challenges experienced by the local tour guides were maintaining the cleanliness of the community, and preservation of their own culture and traditions. The test of significant difference in the responses on the impact of mountain climbing activities revealed significant difference in the economic impact when grouped according to sex and years of experience as tour guides. Similarly, there was significant difference on the perceived ecological impact when grouped according to age.

The Impact of Tourism on Economic Growth, Employment and Environment: A Multivariate Regression Analysis
Aurora L. Sumague Polytechnic University of the Philippines
Abstract
Tourism has experienced unprecedented growth over the past decades making it one of the robust sectors in the world. In the Philippines, tourism is recognized as an important contributor to the generation of foreign exchange earnings, investments, revenue, employment and to the growth of the country’s output. Using the multivariate regression analysis, the study revealed that domestic tourism and foreign tourism have correlation with gross domestic product and employment. However, foreign tourism has a greater impact on gross domestic product and employment. Furthermore, the study proved that only the domestic tourism has significant relationship with carbon dioxide emissions. With this, it can be deduced that domestic tourism is the primary contributor in the degradation of the environment. The paper recommends for the government agencies and the private sectors to continue its effort in strengthening the tourism industry by pursuing various programs such as transport infrastructure development, travel facilitation, expanded marketing plan, etc. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the Department of Tourism (DOT) may also look into some environmental policies governing domestic tourism and its stringent implementation. It is further recommended to promote environmental awareness among all tourism sectors, from tourism policy makers down to the grassroots level to ensure that they will have a deeper understanding on the causes and impact of tourism to the environment.
Keywords: tourism, gross domestic product, employment, carbon dioxide emission, multivariate regression
